I went to see Logan. What I expected was a bloody action gore-fest without a great deal of depth.

What I saw was a bloody action gore-fest with much greater depth than I expected.

This was Logan in his finest hour as we've never seen him. This is Dr. X and Wolverine as we've never seen them: old, alone and vulnerable.

It is difficult to see them that way. I shall not give away any spoilers but these are not the invulnerable characters they once were.

Old age has, as it will anyone who is lucky enough to make it to old age, humbled them.

Despite it all, they are still the people that they have always been.

This is a classical theme and if i have not completely butchered my school boy Latin: tu quoque mortale.

You too are mortal.

Such things are not popular to consider but they are the bitter truth of this life.
